January 18, 2021 Filing Your VA Claim with Jose Nicola
Mike and Trevor discuss the process of filing your VA claim with Jose Nicola, a Recovery Care Coordinator with the Navy Wounded Warrior Safe Harbor Foundation.
Right after ensuring your DD-214 is correct, filing your VA disability claim is probably the most important thing you will do during your transition out of the military.
Unfortunately, there seems to be a stigma about not only what to put on a VA claim, but whether or not you should even file one at all.
The attitude of "I don't wanna be that person" could present an opportunity cost that's much larger than you may realize, and while you can change it later on, it is a very difficult process.
We're going to discuss the importance of getting it done right the first, as well as some reference materials and resources that can help you get your claim started and submitted.
Aside from the compensation, getting a VA disability rating allows you access to the VA Health Care system, and could potentially qualify you for additional benefits from the state you live in with regards to taxes, education, career services, and several other programs specifically for disabled veterans.

January 11, 2021 Our First Guests
In this episode, Mike and Trevor give the audience some background about themselves.
Mike Riggs is currently a US Navy Command Master Chief set to retire in October 2021 after 30 years. Coming from a small town in West Virginia, Mike decided to join the Navy in order to give him some direction in his life. Starting his career as an ET (Electronics Technician), he made the decision to apply to the Navy's EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) after a chance encounter witnessing one of their training evolutions.
Trevor Maxwell is a retired US Navy Senior Chief with 20 years of service. He came from a background very similar to Mike's, small town in West Virginia, joining the Navy to find some direction, and eventually making his way to the Navy EOD community. He retired in May of 2018, and has been working in the Financial Services Industry since then, where he specializes in assisting Military Retirees through the transition process.
Mike and Trevor first met in 2006 when they served on an EOD detachment that was tasked with supporting Naval Special Warfare (SEAL) platoons. Since then, they have continued to work closely on and off through their careers, and support their beloved West Virginia University Mountaineers, which eventually led to the creation of the Get 2 Vet podcast.
Today, they continue to pursue their passion of sharing information about the military transition process, and facilitating professional connections to create opportunities for transitioning service members and veterans.
